The Village Cork

Monday night after work we headed to The Village Cork in Wash Park with Matt & Kip for our last meal together :(   On the bright side- it was a FABULOUS one!!  The pictures don't do it justice.  This place was adorable! All of the tablecloths outside and appetizer plates were different, etc and there was one chef we could watch cook.  Definitely my new favorite due to great food & and charming atmosphere, especially at night :)  You all must be thinking we are such fatty's!! 

We each ordered a wine flight- a great deal!  You will see the effects of this momentarily.

Roasted garlic, brie, apples & bread

Salad & Soup du Jour 

We each ordered something different and passed our plates around to share.  EVERYTHING was soo good!!  Most of the ingredients were from their garden.


Kip- House-made Pasta with Pisto
Linguini topped with Roasted Eggplant, Garlic, Capers, Tomatoes, and Peppers in Olive Oil 

Col- Roasted Pork Tenderloin, this was my favorite

Christian- Fish -N- Chips
Local Tilapia Lightly Breaded and Baked Served with Beet and Turnip Chips with Lemon Caper  

Matt- Olive Oil & Herb Roasted  Chicken Breast

JUST KIDDING!  That is NOT me!

Keep going...

 

 

 

But unfortunately this IS...

 

Sorry mom.   I blame Kip.  

Sad part is we aren't even drunk.

Thanks so much for the visit Matt & Kip, we had so much fun!!!  Miss you already!

Youneeda.   Youneeda Comeback.

Sunday Funday...

This morning after lounging around for a bit we headed to Steuben's for brunch.  Our favorite!!

Monte Cristo & Pulled Pork

Lobster Roll

Huevos Rancheros 

 Chicken & Waffles 

Mmm mmm good.  After this we decided we needed to "exercise" so we headed to check out Red Rocks which is about 20-25 minutes from our house.

See Lisa waving on the amphitheater stage? 

The beer carts up top.

Shiprock

Checking heart rates after climbing the amphitheater steps...

Can't WAIT to go see Zac Brown Band on Labor Day with Karrie & Mark!!!!

My birth year in concerts:

It was a great little adventure!

After we got home a few of us napped (guess who?!) and some people ran to the store to get some food for dinner.  After Kip prepped dinner and we all showered we headed to The Thin Man down the street for some drinks.

Praise be Jesus.

Tree Garland.    ?

Accidents happen.

Ding Dong.

Stache fun.  

The chefs.  Because of Lisa Denver is experiencing a serious salt shortage.

Stuffed zucchini

From here it all went downhill.  I can never look my neighbors in the face again.  Ugh.

Is Lisa crying?!

 I nailed it.

Everyone but me nailed it

Man down

Apparently I didn't get the whale memo.

  Instead my memo read "pretend your constipated"

AJ is transparent.

I seriously nailed it.  Sorry Matt.

 

 

Lisa decided to sit this one out.  AJ, however, did not and launched himself 3 doors down.

Still going...

After the photo shoot we had to see off Lisa & AJ :(  We will miss you but look forward to Thanks-Den-Giving!! Thanks so much for the surprise visit!!!

Thanks to Matt for cleaning up while we went to the airport & to Kip for the delicious meals throughout the weekend.  He's pooped.

Still more to come....
